PHP - I need a daily hits counter - no mysql please.

anyone know where I can get one?

replace data.txt with the file name in which you want to store the counter's data. place them both in the same directory.

<?
// counter.php
$f = "data.txt";
$fp = file($f); 
$i=0;
$new = $fp[$i] +1;
$newdata = fopen("$f", "w");
fputs($newdata,"$new");
echo "$new";
?>

Thank you very much.

hi, doesn't it need to fclose() upon fputs($newdata,"$new") ?

thanks!

don't use this for high traffic sites! it crashes the system or doesn't count properly and gets fux0rd

oh yes, put fclose($newdata); so that will be.

<?
$f = "data.txt";
$fp = file($f); 
$i=0;
$new = $fp[$i] +1;
$newdata = fopen("$f", "w");
fputs($newdata,"$new");
fclose($newdata);
echo "$new";
?>

understand. if no database, are there others way to do that? I'd like to know too.
I look into my books (of course, a littile books ), they teach us only this way.
thank you.

how aboot this? I kind of elaborated on the above

<?php

 function count_hit()

 { 
   $file_pointer= fopen("hits.txt", "r+");

   

   if ($file_pointer == false)

   {

     return "Error: could not open the file! It may not exist!";

     exit; 

   }

   

   $hits= fread($file_pointer, filesize("hits.txt"));

   $hits= trim($hits);

   $hits++;

   fseek($file_pointer, 0);

   $result= fwrite($file_pointer, $hits);

   

   if ($result == false)

   {

     return "Error: could not write to the file!";

     exit; 

   }

   else {

     return $hits;

   }

   

   $close= fclose($file_pointer);

   

   if ($close == false)

   {

     echo "Error: could not close the file!";

     exit; 

   }

 }

?>
